Thanks for the reply.Gare.....I KNOW it is not a salvation issue!!!! That is not the point. The point is that your incorrect exegesis of this subject will inevitabbly lead to and incorrect view of the plan of God which in fact DOES include salvation.
AGAIN you have stated............
"Again sons of God are the believers as messengers throughout the bible."
Gare.....you have staed that several times and I keep telling you that according to the Bible that is a false theology. Repeating it over and over is not going to make it a true statement.
The "Sons of God" in Job 1:6 and 38:7 CAN NOT BE "HUMAN BELIEVERS"
AGAIN......the "Sons of God" in Job 1:6 came with Satan to report to God. That can only mean that they were FALLEN angels!
AGAIN......the "Sons of God" in Job 38:7 God is speaking to Job and reviewing how the universe was created. In verse 4 God asks Job if he was present when God laid the foundation of the world. Verses 5 and 6 are more questions about the creation. Then verse 7 asks if Job was present when the stars sang and the “sons of God” shouted for joy. Again “sons of God” refers to the holy angels who existed at the time of the creation.
Now with all due respect........why do you continue to insist that those obvious Bible position are HUMAN BELIEVERS when they clearly can not be????
It is impossible and even dangerous to set in stone a thought that what is said in one place in the Old Test. always means the same thing in the New Test........and visa-versa.
CONTEXT and LOCATION always determines correct exegesis. It is obvious that you are confusing words and phrases because of a pre-determined agenda and because of that, you are forcing the Scriptures to say "what you want them to say, instead of accepting them as what they are actually saying".
I say that with all Christian love to love as I am sure that you want to be correct in what you understand.
My suggestion is simple. I suggest that we abandon this thread and conversation as it has become a circle of he said ,,,,,,,she said and there does not seem to be an end in sight. You are convinced that you agenda is right and I am convinced that the Bible is right. So..................
I say that because the drum beat you hear in the background is the foot steps of our moderators who I think have heard about all they want to hear from you and me on this subject.
I hear what you are offering but I seem to hear it a little differently like fingerprints . Its not my goal to offend in the what I hope is defence of the gospel . I honor the way of you and others here in the preaching the gospel . I would offer.
It would seem not the most popular idea but it rings true I beleive If we compare scripture to scripture.
In the end of the matter sons of God is what we are as messengers. Or what some call angels the Greek word for messengers of the gospel .How beautiful are their feet shod with the gospel.
The Holy Spirit that indwells them sends "sons of God" out two by two. .The word two represents the church( men and women)
They as sons of God are not human flesh and blood in heaven but heaven the storeroom of faith is where the saints gather to make their requests known (the golden bowl) gold represent faith the unseen glory of God.
Saints that are there no longer have any part in anything under the sun .There memory of things here under the Sun are gone, never to be remembered ever again The silver cord or the golden bowl . . .prayers of the saints had served its purpose it is cut off in the light of His glory
Ecclesiastics 12: 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
What we are not what we will be not made up with the corrupted rudiments of this world .
The gospel reads. . .
1 John 3:1Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Again “sons of God” are the believers as messengers throughout the bible. Not once are they called fallen angels rather than demons, Legion the spirit of error, father of lies, Beelzebub .There are plenty of words assigned to Legion but again not “sons of God”. It is reserved for born again believers who offer the golden vial their prayers .Satan the father of lie as the accuser of the brethren (24-7) came with those who do reach out to our heaven father in prayer.
Job 1:5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Above sets the stage Job as a son of God reaching out in moring prayer .. . keeping the subject in mind (prayer) on one day when all the saints of earth were making their request know along came the spirit of error Lucifer the false light. he comes amoung those who seek the true light above. Clearing no one of them .
Things are created after kinds. Satan is not a human kind he works his lies in them but is not of them .
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
It would seem to be a three way conversation .The accuser of the brethern does it 24/7 none stop . Job was strengthed enabling him to finish the good work the Father began in him.
“Stars” that reflect the light of God Love as messengers of the gospel like “sons of God” do not refer to Lucifer. Lucifer as the god of this world , below he brags falsely of being the Spirit of Christ who does work in these earthen bodies giving us the power to pray as did Job .
Isaiah 14:13-15 King James Version (KJV) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
like the most High. It is the living source of the gospel delivered by the feet of his mesengers called apostles and prophets.
Deuteronomy 28:62And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the Lord thy God.
Psalm 148:3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
